Well troops once again its planning time for OSH and EAA AirVenture. Once again RPA is planning a presents and participation. As we all know all the latest and greatest stuff is there and of course this year is no different. We have it on good account that some 30 to 40 DC-3/C-47 are planning on making an appearance this year. This just maybe the last time this many Gooney Birds have been in the air at the same time since WW2. A number of your very own RPA formation check pilots and leads have been asked to help in planning the arrival. They certainly will take up a lot of room and will be a momentous chore for us "advisors".
RPA is planning having another Pig Roast at our tent again this year. I'm trying to keep the costs under $50. a head. This will include the roast, tent, tables, chairs, and supplies (water, and other mics. stuff). Since I'll need to know the numbers, PLEASE go to the RPA site to list up. And guys it's very hard to take into account each others different schedules. Those of you who plan to fly in the different show days, it would be nice to know that you will show up. Of course the more of you who show up the cheaper it is - except for the Pig Roast- that is on a per person cost and "last minute" reservations are very hard on the caterer. Plus I need to know when most folks will be there so as to schedule the caterer.
We usually have 25 plus aircraft at OSH. This is a great time to put faces on names you see on the Yaklist or see in RedAlert. Plus you see and learn an awful lot more about particular modes and doodads' from the very folks who think them up. Because of time constrains there isn't a RPA pre-OSH get-together point although that does not stop you guys for making plans to that amongst your selves. Part of the fun is in getting there with other folks. Plus some rust can be knocked off formation skills in route.
